i'd have gone to specsavers, as my eyesight wasn't the best and obviously blocking out the "ribs and hips" during the previous 4 months it took for horse to drop weight....

do i really need to explain?

a horse/pony to get into a poor state as you discribe, would take a period of several months..hence my suggestion you get your eyes tested....
 
No Never. Am actually baffled as to why you would allow your horse to drop so much weight [ QUOTE ]

Stealing is stealing, whether you think the people you are stealing from can afford it or not. It isn't so much the money, but the inconvenience of turning up on the yard assuming that you had sufficient feed for that evening only to discover that some idiot had stolen some of it and you don't have enough for your own horse.

Yeh I've had mine pinched too, was funny though cos it was back when he was on racehorse cubes!!! So someone had obviously thought it was h&p cubes and got a nasty shock as they stopped nicking it after a while!!!

I'm lucky that one of my best mates is on the yard with me and we share pretty much everything, so normally one of us makes sure we're never short of feed!!! or bedding for that matter!!

However I wish someone would come and nick the haylage we've got at the moment, its disgusting, was on the verge of buying my own the other day!!

Yep, i used to nick a girls feed at my old yard all the time, her parents paid for everything and they were minted whereas i was just about affording everything, nope i didnt feel guilty and yep i probably would do it again and yes my pony loved the apple chaff!

See that is just out of order - you do not know how hard those people worked to provide their daughter with a pony etc. So what if they were minted - THEY earned it not YOU. What gives you the right to just take other people's stuff like that????
 
You say that so proudly. Stealing is stealing, regardless of your circumtances or those you steal from.

NOT that I have to explain myself, but he wa not poor and skinny, he was muscled and when she dropped his feed he dropped off - as in, he didnt have alot of fat anyway, but dropped the small amount of covering he did. As he was being fed before, I had no reason to think that she wasnt feeding him, and kept asking her to up his hay/feed....this was over the course of about a month until I realised what was going on and moved him within the month,

At no time did he ever look poor and skinny....if that makes any sense!

I moved at the start of May this yeasr - so Feb/March/April was when it started going a bit wrong there...he dropped of a little more than this (which is when I moved)
 
no. it's stealing and it's wrong.
having been on the ther end of people 'borrowing' because they had run out, I can say that it is VERY annoying. I always make sure I have enough feed -so why can't others? It's not as if you don't get some warning that you're approaching the bottom of the feed bag (unless people are stealing it from you)

I never have, and have always been DIY so had to provide my own - we might run out of multivits or similar for a day or two, but ever bulk feed or bedding.
Having said that, if I needed something, and somebody else had plenty i might borrow a scoop or so in a crisis, but I would certainly call them, or leave a note and would never leave them short.
